Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
“Fulfilling God’s Plan, Part 3” by Nancy Dufresne
(Two months ago, we started a three-part teaching on how to fulfill the plan of God. Let’s continue on with that teaching this month.)
Paul finished his course, and in Acts 20, he gives us a divine checklist of the six steps he took to fulfill God’s plan.
“And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:22-24).
In the two previous months, we taught on the first three things Paul did that enabled him to fulfill the will of God and finish his course.

In the teaching last month, I wrote about being “In Christ.” I want to continue along that line this month.
Isaiah 54:14 (AMPC) reads, “You shall ESTABLISH YOURSELF in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God’s will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.”
Your redemption REPOSITIONED you – FAR from oppression, destruction, fear, and terror!
But notice in this verse that we are instructed, “…establish yourself in righteousness….” No, we aren’t trying to establish a righteousness of our own, but we are to establish and build in our spirit the truth that Jesus already made us righteousness – it is a free gift from Him (Rom. 5:17). We aren’t righteous because we have done everything right, but because HE did everything right, then credited it to us as though WE did everything right!
